    How Trump's presidency will probably end.

    Yes, our relations with the UK are immensely better - so much so that the American president refuses to visit now. And Kim Jong-Un absolutely loves being called disrespectful nicknames by the American president. So much better! :rolleyes:

    Anyway, I've given you the appropriate forum to discuss the Trump presidency. This is not it, so I will cease.

    You thought people talking soccer on an internet discussion board were cool?

    You’re asking a guy whose user name is a reference to an obscure 90s cartoon what the definition of cool is.

    Mine's a reference to inherent geek-dom.

    Now, when is the Court going to release its opinion and put NASL in its grave?

    Darkwing Duck, the terror that flaps in the night, is obscure? I thought it was classic!

    You’d be surprised by the amount of people that don’t know it.

    I'd hardly call a four-year tenure on the Disney Afternoon lineup "obscure." It's right up there with Tale Spin and Goof Troop.

    I could see someone considering Bonkers obscure since it didn't really have a lasting cultural presence. But Darkwing Duck? No way!

    Only in the current political climate, could a discussion moving from the incumbent POTUS to past Disney Cartoon series, mark a deepening in the conversations tone and intellect.

    I'm ordained by one of the most conservative Christian denominations there is. I previously worked for a law firm headed by a Reagan WH lawyer. I've literally never voted for a Democrat in my life.

    Donald Trump is a moronic POS who has accomplished less than zero positive things in his short reign of terror. He's the #1 reason why I'm learning German and hoping to switch my citizenship before I die.

    Not ordained. Moderate Christian. Totally agree with the sentiment. Then again I'm a government contractor working 2 contracts. Already got the stop work order on one. If the other one comes through and I get next week off I may start to have a more positive opinion of him.

    Literally hasn't done anything. His biggest "accomplishment" is the Dow going up 19.9%. That puts it on pace for 160% over 8 years. It went up over 300% in 8 years of Obama. Any moderately intelligent financial analyst will tell you that the president has virtually nothing to do with the economy.

    The supposedly great jobless numbers are calculated the same way they were when they were "fake" during the election cycle. People still don't count as unemployed once they crash out of the system after being jobless for too long. I didn't count as unemployed for the 17 months I was searching for a job and not getting unemployment payouts (thanks Hawaii!).

    The tax "cuts" are short term for most, only positively effect those making $150k+ after the 3rd year, and are further proof that Trump and the rest of the Baby Boomer generation needs to do the world a favor and just die already. I just upped my retirement contributions to 25% across various investments (6.8 is a match from my employer, Texas Tech).

    Nothing other than increasingly open racism has come from this administration.

    Why? There is no NASL at this point... It’s a garbage league at this point which seems an apporpriate place to talk about the garbage state of American politics...

    You sure? All I'd know about NASL today is the Phantom of the California United.
